AWAKEN diana
Diana was known in Roman and Greek cultures as the goddess of wild animals and the moon.
She was called the divine huntress, she could speak to animals and was known for her strength, as a protector of those enslaved, and dwelled in sacred woods.
What better goddess to embody while sleeping under the stars, immersed in nature, deeply connecting with a group of warrior women.
Our October retreat is designed to activate your wild spirit, sense of play, creativity and feminine power - so you can be a powerful force for good!
It’s no surprise that Wonder Woman, protector of peace and justice, from DC comics was modeled after Diana. Let’s close out the year, invigorated, inspired, and ready to take charge of our goals for 2019.
